Adapter for 2.5 inch SATA drives

This Thinkstar adapter cable connects a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB 3.0 port. It is intended for users who want to access data from a laptop drive on another computer. The cable draws power from the USB connection so no external supply is needed.

Suits laptop drives only

The adapter accepts most 2.5 inch SATA HDDs or SSDs. It does not work with 3.5 inch drives. Builders who need to connect larger desktop drives should look at a different solution. Users with drives that require more power than the USB port can deliver will also need another option.

USB 3.0 interface and 2.5 inch limit

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.0 host interface combined with the 2.5 inch SATA drive requirement. If the host port is USB 3.0 and the drive is a 2.5 inch SATA model the adapter will function. Any other drive size or host interface means this cable is not the right part.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this adapter for a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or a 3.5 inch hard drive?

This adapter accepts 2.5 inch SATA HDD or SSD only; it cannot support 3.5 inch HDD.

What transfer speed will I see when I connect a SATA SSD through this USB 3.0 cable?

The cable uses a USB 3.0 interface, so real-world throughput is limited by the USB 3.0 link rather than the SATA drive itself.

Does the USB 3.0 connector limit the maximum speed of my SATA drive?

Yes, the USB 3.0 interface caps the practical transfer rate, so the drive will not exceed USB 3.0 bandwidth.
